America Tour Notes

By
XTERRA

Jul. 22, 2016

Last weekend Cedric Wane of Papeete, Tahiti and Tess Amer took home the amateur titles at Beaver Creek. The 24-year-old Amer from Boulder, Colorado had the fastest women’s time of the day in 2:37:21, however, due to the two-minute start time difference between the pro women’s swim wave and the amateur women’s start, she crossed the finish line in 2nd.

“I didn’t expect that at all,” said Amer. “I haven’t done a tri in like three years. I graduated CU in 2013, when I was the president of the tri club. I’ve been mountain biking but not putting all three together. And I just signed up last night. It turned out well, it was good. I guess I should go pro and go to Maui now.”

In Alaska, Will Ross and Megan Chelf took impressive wins at XTERRA Hammerman. Ross, 27, from Anchorage won his third-straight and seventh overall Hammerman title while Chelf, 29, of Anchorage by way of Wisconsin placed sixth overall, roughly 20 minutes ahead of women's runner-up Corrie Smith.

Nearly 4500 miles away in upstate New York Daryl Weaver of Lititz, PA and Kelli Montgomery of Wallingford, CT took top honors at XTERRA Sky High. These wins continue an impressive run of results for both athletes. Weaver won his 2nd overall race on the year while Montgomery took her third with both holding commanding leads in their XTERRA America Tour regional division ranking.
